PINUS ORIZABA. Gordon. 

 (Orizaba Pine.) 



A small tree from the mountains of Mexico, 

 resembling Pseudo-Strobus. It lias leaves eight or nine 

 inches long, very slender, and sharp-pointed, thickly 

 set upon the branches, and of a light green colour. 



PINUS PALLASIA.NA. Lambert. 

 (Tartarian Pine.) 



SYN. Pinus tawrica. Gardens. 

 Pinus tatarica. Gardens. 



Indigenous to the limestone mountains in the 

 central and western regions of the Crimea. A lofty 

 tree, branching from the base. Branches declining. 

 Leaves five inches long, of a light shining green. An 

 excellent tree for chalky soils and barren sea downs. 



PINUS PATULA. Schiede. 

 (Spreading-leaved Pine.) 



Distinct and beautiful, with pale lively green foliage. 

 Leaves eight or nine inches long, spreading, some- 

 times pendulous. A native of Mexico, at considerable 

 elevations. Although this species is generally con- 

 sidered too tender for our climate, it has stood unin- 

 jured for many years in various parts of the kingdom, 

 both in the southern and midland counties. As it is 

 somewhat spring-tender, the treatment recommended 

 for such will be necessary to ensure success. P. p. 

 var. stricta has stouter and more erect leaves.
